Quick answer, never. Too costly.

In a number of areas it's ready to go, most of the upstream capacity work was done for GIG1 for example, and they won't boost upload too much anyway. It all depends whether they think XGS-PON upgrade via Project Mustang is going at fast enough rate to alleviate need to offer 2gbps on HFC/RFoG. RFoG has its own problems anyway with upload for the GIG1 service. I think they are sitting it out at the moment as not much demand for 2gbps, and their Nexfibre is already offering it via full fibre FTTP.
