56p per megabyte is still a fucking rip-off.
If anyone here lives in the UK, I'd strongly recommend Giff Gaff. I got it around a month ago, and I haven't been let down since. Truly unlimited (unless you're torrenting gigabytes of films via tethering) internet and texts, and 250 mins, for £10 a month.
That is what all phone companies should be aiming for.
I'm abroad here in Tenerife and even though I use GG at home, I'm finding it difficult with the ridiculous call charges while here. Its 35p a minute to make a call. 15p a min to receive. And £1.50 per mb for data although that ain't a problem with me as I have wifi. The unlimited data was a godsend in the airport where I was getting full HSDPA+ at 4mb speeds. Was on Skype for a few hours. Better speed than my home internet which is embarrasing. Call charges are really bad while abroad though.

Buy a local PAYG SIM from a local cell provider, you'll save a fuckload (infact you should be doing this wherever you go, even in europe, but these new caps are a good step in the right direction)
If you really can't be assed to buy a SIM while you're there but still need some data, T-Mobile's PAYG Europe Boosters are pretty good (£10 for a month of 50mb is awesome, and they do some other combinations for a day / week), but nothing beats a local PAYG deal (especially if outside europe)
