If you're REALLY lucky, your phone line comes up from the back fence into your house, and you should in theory be able to get something close to 100 Mbps.
However, it's far more likely that your phone line comes in from the front fence, so the length of copper wire from the NBN FTTN node is anyone's guess. Best case scenario is that it runs up to the nearest corner and straight back to your front fence, so you might only have a couple of hundred metres of copper, so you might still get something in the 50 - 100 Mbps range (as long as the copper wire is in good condition).
Worst case scenario is that the copper meanders all over the suburb before it reaches your front fence, or you are connected to a different node altogether, and / or the copper in your neighbourhood is corroded and badly joined, in which case your maximum attainable speeds could be 25 Mbps or less.
