Hi, I’m having the same issue but worse.
Also Telstra user, both iPhone and nighthawk m2.
Had 180Mbps down to about 0.1-1.5Mbps
Phone sits at 30Mbps all the time, (no antenna) and hasn’t changed ever so it’s not reception or tower issues as far as I know.

Honestly just find a different 4g device, this thing has been a nightmare for me 😂
