I seems so far these offers run every 2 months for the last week of the month. Alternatively they seem to run prior to investor report. Within 1 month of the March offer Virgin submitted their Q1 earnings results. Within 1 month of the May offer Liberty Global bought Virgin. Within 1 month of the latest offer Q2 results should be due.
Not sure what your point is?

Q2 results are for April-June 2013, so any additional uptake from the half-price offer in July 2013 would not be included in the Q2 reporting, and it's pretty doubtful, IMHO, that there was such a surge in customer numbers after the May offer that Liberty felt that VM was a bargain (especially as due diligence befor such a bid happens can take 3-6 months).
