No it can't, by law it's limited to £40 in a month unless you specifically agree otherwise.

Some providers require you to (and will automatically) opt out of the EU cap if you go on one of the "saver" packages, e.g. £1.99 per day or whatever.

Roaming charges for the rest of the world are still extortionate though.
O2 really just copied Vodafone who did 25MB for £2.00 last year. Voda now does use-your-UK-allowance for £3.00 a day or if you're a heavy user 3 does unlimited data for £5 a day. Most of the MVNOs compare pretty poorly to the big providers.

Wish O2 would do the same as Voda, since I have unlimited UK allowance
