Hmmm, my traceroute looks like this:

 1  10.1.1.3  306.953 ms  382.551 ms  180.755 ms
 2  10.1.1.2  8.166 ms  8.119 ms  8.165 ms
 3  203.10.76.37  7.666 ms  8.912 ms  10.356 ms
 4  203.220.47.97  10.675 ms  9.266 ms  13.086 ms
	...
10  150.101.248.57  36.419 ms  40.951 ms  36.789 ms

10.1.1.3 is the Transact router at the other end of my pppoe link
10.1.1.2 is a Linux box at my ISP (TIP).
203.220.47.97 is the first step outside my ISP.
150.101.248.57 is a box in Adelaide on Internode.

However, I am current half saturating my outbount link.  If I stop that
traffic, the traceroute looks like this:

 1  10.1.1.3  9.391 ms  12.953 ms  9.418 ms
 2  10.1.1.2  8.156 ms  10.600 ms  9.688 ms
 3  203.10.76.37  12.284 ms  9.284 ms  8.264 ms
 4  203.220.47.97  10.524 ms  7.900 ms  8.238 ms
	...
10  150.101.248.57  34.628 ms  42.490 ms  39.960 ms

So, I would not judge anything by the first hop i.e. this has nothing to
do with your ISP.  I would be checking for other traffic on your link.
