Soooo I am still experiencing issues here.
Since my last posts I have switched router again. I have gone from virtualised pfsense, two different fritzbox's and now to a dedicated firewall appliance running opnsense - Still experiencing the issue.
I have noticed issues mainly watching youtube where the stream will just stop dead in it's tracks, running a speed test at this time I get between 40 and 100mbit down, upload seems fine.
1080p video seems fine as it seems to buffer enough to recover from these slowdown but 1440p or 4k is unwatchable.
This is what the "Stats for Nerds" looks like in youtube's end, you can see at the halfway point on the graph the network activity just stops but connection speed always remains the same number?:
Once I refresh the page a few times and notice the video playing again I do another test and speeds are back to normal (~900mbit on Speedtest.net and 1gbps solid on fast.com).
Do you guys have any ideas on anything else I can try? I am at a bit of a loss here.

So interestingly after all the changes I have made I thought I had cracked the issue but I think the firefox issue has masked the real issues as I was stoll noticing issues with multiple devices and decided to dig a bit deeper.
I still notices massive slowdown especially with youtube but funnily enough, traffic like steam game downloads still seem to be full speed...
I installed an application that runs a speed test every hour to collect some data and the results are interesting...
Every now and then my connection will go from full speed to testing about 120mbps in the app and testing in the webpage gets me anywhere from 10-120 depending on server that is selected. At this time I also notice all traffic from youtube trickles in at about 1mbit or less and the video hard stalls.
I have been tracking this for only a few days so far and testing each hour but it has highlighted some interesting info, many of the slowdown are hapenning around the same times on different days, could this be congestion?
The second interesting thing is the slow downs are very very consistent in terms of speed, often within 1mbit of each other.
Does anyone else have any other input to add or where I can go to further track this down, I must note these tests are running from a stand alone machine which is hard wired directly to the router with a unifi switch between.
Data filtered to low results only:
