Currently it seems that TPG customers can't send packets to Google addresses
due to routing problems.
So if you use Google DNS (8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4) on a TPG connection then things
won't work. Also you can't access www.google.com and other Google sites.
TPG apparently aren't taking phone support requests, there is an automated
message saying that they have no known problems but that the queue is too long
before hanging up.

You could set up an IPv6-over-IPv4 tunnel (broker.aarnet.net.au,
tunnelbroker.net, go6.net etc.), then use IPv6 to access Google services.

Does traceroute show you where the problem is? If it's in one of the
intermediate networks (not tpg or Google), you could write to their respective
administrators.

It's fixed now so I can't do such a test. I'll keep that in mind for next
time.
But it's only 5 hops from a PC on a TPG ADSL link to 8.8.8.8 so there doesn't
seem to be much scope for the problem to not be TPG's fault.
