Any luck with Consumer Direct or Ofcom re:Unlimited Texts

Just wondered if anyone has had any luck with Consumer Direct or Ofcom in relation to the 'Unlimited texts and Internet' not being Unlimited?
I've had a letter from o2 saying Trading Standards had been in touh with them regarding my complaint.....
Basically said tough we don't care and made out they were doing it for customers benefit

clause 13 Unlimited allowances are subject to an excessive usage policy.
Always been there.
That is why o2 are not bothered. and the asa allows this sort of thing to happen in advertising the product
