Fluidone have forced me to plug the Juniper SRX300 back into the Openreach ONT as without the Juniper they cannot help me - apparently being on a '"managed install'' i have to leave the Juniper plugged in at all times. The Juniper gets re-packed and goes back in the loft collecting dust once this is resolved though

This is on a wifi connection going through my network (in fact, from the USG3 above this would go through, via fibre, back to the house and then on to a Unifi AC-Pro access point).

You inspired me to try from a wired connection. This is from a virtual machine (XenServer host).
Route is ONT->Media Converter->Fibre Link->Media Converter->Juniper->USG3->Core Switch->Office Switch->XenServer

100% its the USG I went from USG to USG-pro and speed went up.

Thanks, you�re more or less getting line speeds so all�s well on your line.

Fluidone have put an �advanced traffic monitoring entry� on my line to continuously monitor speeds, this *should* flag up evening/peak time slow downs.

I feel like there'll be a new USG soon as I'm not feeling super slow I'll worry about it later! There are a few other things on my homelab shopping list first.... *rubs hands*

I've had to reboot the ONT and all connected hardware as Fluidone have informed me that BT Wholesale "has carried out a remote cease and reprovide to rebuild the FTTP circuit."

Hopefully this means I've been put on a different virtual LAN path at the exchange (SVLAN), ie on a less congested route.

Speeds are back to normal during peak times after my line was put on a different SVLAN by BT Wholesale this morning

Good news.

I am curious however as to what it is that causes their automatic SVLAN management system to fail to identify the congestion necessitating manual intervention to fix it.

No idea, but I'm really pleased both my CP & BTW acknowledged that my line was suffering from congestion and took the necessary action to remedy this. They could easily have said "sorry, your line is running within spec so there's not much we can do" like BT Retail have been known to say to their Infinity 4 customers.
