with t-mobile, you will get 3g coverate, but 3g+ might be iffy. web access is same as H3G and in addition for 7 pounds you can add 120min to call to northamerica as well.
I should add that TP2 ( atleast mine from telus ) is not SIM-Unlocked. so unless you get that done, you may not be able to use local SIMs and will have to pay hefty roaming charges. before I had mine SIM Unlocked, on my first trip lasting 3 weeks, my bill was whopping $1500 or thereabouts. Tethering will *not* be an issue so long as you get your phone SIM Unlocked and switch to local SIM.
