Roming abroad with Sky sim

I am looking at a Sky sim only deal, which they say gives me free roaming abroad. I am with Giffgaff just now & the roam was useless, I couldn't get 5G, which was prevalent in France. Will I get 5G abroad if I switch to Sky, can anyone tell me?

Are you an existing Sky customer (With Diamond VIP status)?

I recently returned from France (Paris) and had no issues with the mobile service (5G included). Actually, it was better than being in the UK!

Free roaming abroad only applies if you have Sky VIP on your account and you are on the Diamond level and applies to 120 countries only:
