That depends on how they implement the blocking. It may be that they
block by adding to their firewall rules. That may also block pings.
However, the traceroute that someone else posted seemed to indicate that
arrnet may consider TPG a foreign host and block it for that reason instead.

How much is squid actually caching? Squid has a number of rules for not caching
files larger than a certain size. Is it possible that your squid cache is full
and not caching as much as you think it is?
You may want to look into apt-proxy instead.
