Have you lodged a support request about this? Internode have always been responsive and helpful whenever I've had an issue (mostly ADSL line problems that turned out to be the responsibility of Telstra).
I'd be happier about doing that once I had a clue what the problem might be. Just waving my arms and saying "It's sporadically like glue, often for hours on end." seems too vague to be likely to lead to a fix. Hold on ... I must admit that it was last when it was very wet that this sort of thing happened. Water in the line pits was the cause, ISTR now that those grey cells get a kick. Your traceroute seems to have lots of those quarter second latencies too, and shows no sign of actually reaching 69.163.248.64 either. So, if your speeds are OK, my traceroute isn't anything to go on.
Here's my traceroute for comparison. The "router" is actually my Linux host, with a Traverse Technologies ADSL 2+ PCI card in it. I am not experiencing any connectivity issues or any reduced speeds.
I have some code to hack this evening, so might give Internode a call tomorrow. Thanks for the encouragement. Erik -- In the bathtub of history the truth is harder to hold than the soap, and much more difficult to find." - Terry Pratchett
