What I describe is specifically shown on mobile and internet plans.
Regarding your linked youtube video (which as far as I can tell from skimming, is basically ranting about how ISPs penny-pinch on backhaul capacity and then fail to meet their advertised plan speeds during peak hours), I would encourage you to look at something closer to the present than from 4 years ago. All ISPs now report on minimum speeds during defined peak hours. I believe this is mandated by the ACCC. See the following URL:

A typical ISP plan choice page [1] lists the following information:
1) Monthly price (e.g. "$79/mo")
2) Minimum total cost of the contract (e.g. "$158 if cancelled within the first month")
3) Typical evening speed (e.g. "48 Mbit between 7pm and 11pm" on a 50Mbit plan), which will change depending on which address you enter and thus which technology option you get (namely, if you are on FTTN you will see lower typical speeds reported than a FTTH address, especially for higher speed plans)
This was introduced specifically in response to this issue, where peak-hours congestion was a common complaint amongst consumers.
ISPs are also increasingly publishing their CVC graphs for each point of interconnect. This lets you see a historical utilisation of the network.
