That sounds a much better speed than you had before.
Having a good local network broadband reach is key to Sky Stream.
Not just broadband speed to your house and router, as yi7 have noticed, but for your local network supply via wifi or ethernet, that can be affected in a busy household.
Interference, can occur in many forms, the puck much like a Sky Q box can for some customers suffer from this at times. More often seen as an intermittent blip.
Not always a cure, but the following may help to resolve, like some you have seen already;
Make sure you have a good 6-8 inches free on all sides of the puck.
Do not stack the puck on top of any other device.
Best not to sit it on a glass shelf. Wood is generally the best.
Make sure the puck is in the open, not tucked away in a cabinet or sat directly behind the TV.
Make sure you have no other devices that can cause interference closeby, like cordless phones, radiators, baby monitors, smart meter in home displays, microwaves and the like.
You should be using the Sky supplied hdmi cable or a high speed equivalent one.
Plus, change both your pucks to following recommended settings set in Settings>
Turn wifi OFF under Network if connected via ethernet.
Set Network standby mode to ON and Overnight power saving is OFF.

Could you tell me if it is normal to have such large fluctuations ?
maybe it was just a bad day yesterday.
I am with Toob broadband via cityfibre.
Thank you.

It's quite common to see fluctuations. Everything from microwaves to how thick the walls are to what your neighbours are doing will affect it. That was a particularly big difference though.
