Yes. Your line and/or modem is not performing properly.
See http://tpg.com.au/maps/ for detailed sync speeds, (make sure you
change it to ACT at the bottom).
The fault you describe is something I experienced when the gel caps in
one of the pits had leaked and there was water affecting the line.
However, there are many factors at play.

Not sure what ISPs you've been with but I have Internode and iiNet to
be the best at dealing with this sort of thing. Their support is
better than others and they run off their own hardware (well iiNet run
their own, and Internode run some of their own). You can also tweak
the line profiles. Of course not everyone at either of these places is
wonderful and sometimes you get a dud, but generally they are very
good.
