You can get an Unlimited Data Bolt-on to your plan for £7.50, but is restricted in some ways;

The O2 Web & Wi-Fi Bolt On allows you unlimited use of O2 UK's Edge, GPRS, 3G and HSDPA networks, The Cloud's UK Wireless LAN network and the BT Openzone UK Wireless LAN network, for personal internet use and email. All usage must be for your private, personal and non-commercial purposes.

You may not use your SIM Card in any device to allow the continuous streaming of any audio / video content, enable P2P or file sharing or use them in such a way that adversely impacts the service to other O2 customers. If O2 reasonably suspect you are not acting in accordance with this policy O2 reserves the right to impose further charges or disconnect your tariff at any time, having attempted to contact you first.
If your buying sim free and want to use O2, then the iPhone payg sim is available, where if you top up with ten pounds, you get unlimited data. Reports suggest 2-3gb is no problem, but this loop hole may be closed by O2 at any time.

These are available on ebay.
