Just checked my ping during peak hours and its 170ms, am I right in guessing that this is pretty bad for gaming?

Am in North Wales, Sky seem to have grossly underestimated the bandwidth required between here and their core routers.
Apparently it'll be fixed this month 28th/29th iirc.

Service is terrible 4-11PM atm, took 80 minutes to download 120MB!

Yeah, LLU...things are good after midnight, I get lower latency than I do on my AAISP 20CN fastpath link, and obviously a lot more throughput!
