DNS issues - Connection intermittent since install

In Ireland. Have a fibre line to house and with other providers had no issue. Switched to SKY on the 28th of July. Have had intermittant connection issues, general DNS lookup issues, and routing problems. I've tried restarting the router, restarting the fibre siro box, tried leaving them both off for a while to hopefully get rerouted with no sucess. Changing PC's DNS to googles (8.8.8.8) solves the problem for a while and then it returns within an hour or so. I work from home so this is causing me great stress. Sky connection checker shows nothing wrong. This is really quite frustrating. Any ideas on how to fix?

@RoryD 

The stats look okay. Can you post the routers support log?

Re: DNS issues - Connection intermittent since install

I am having DNS issues with _the cloud. No other provider is affected.

Says DNS lookup is invalid!

Had this a few years ago. It was resolved after a few months. Whats the problem?

On my windows 10 laptop. My iPhone 13 pro is unaffected.
