A few weeks ago, at Telstra's strong urging, I switched my internet over to the nbn. No charge, a free modem (which I did not need nor use) and the plan I was on remained- 50gb download a month
Apparently, in this type of change over, the default speed that you are put on is "up to" 25mb download
My download speed went from around 12mb on all coper to around 20mb with fiber to the node, with a huge slowdown between about 4:30pm and 9:00.
I live less than 1km from the post office and the "Node" is just outside my house so I should have very minimal transmission losses.
I recently signed up for Telstra's super duper 1000gb package and did complain about the evening slowdown- even on Sundays!!!
Since then I have kept close track of my download speeds and very rarely does it dip below 20mb. it is usually around 22mb- even during the 4:30pm to 9:00pm period.
I did some research on this and found that the site I was using to check my download speeds did not always agree with all the other down load test sites.
I think it would be interesting to know what other people are experiencing as far as download speed, service provider type of internet service etc.
These two test sites come recommended on a site I was reading and I find they are in close agreement.
Give it a try and report your results

I just checked my download speed on both sites with the following results-
Speedofme 22.26mb
telstra 20.98mb
