All I can see for definite is that the price will eventually be reduced by all providers.
Lucky you are not involved or important in the process then I guess.

"Regulation 10 provides that where a trader charges a fee in contravention of the prohibition against excess payment surcharges, payment of the fee is unenforceableor, if it has already been paid, the fee is refundable. The consumer may enforce these rights, if necessary, in civil proceedings before the courts."

There is STILL no recorded instance in any of those links of Sky (or Virgin) giving retrospective refunds. I'll remain unconvinced until a link is posted saying otherwise.
In addition, those regulations supposedly came into force in 2012, so the providers have hardly taken swift action even in reducing the fee.0 -

Hence the need for a refund.
