Having used TPG for many years I can assure you that, while not the absolute fastest provider around, they are quite fast and very stable. A long delay before reaching a new page/site is not normal. TPG uses transparent squid proxy/caching so if you have a proxy set up, remove it so you use their proxy. TPG use Linux and Cisco for their machines, depending on location.
