Is Plusnet in trouble today? My connection drops out every 5 minutes,
if it connects at all. I have to reboot the router to have any chance of
a reconnect.

No problem here, but perhaps if I had anything cause a restart I'd have
problems re-connecting, so I shan't ....

I doubt such issued have anything to do with the backhauled network

it will be your connection into/at the local exchange

The rest of us will only be able to help if you are on that same exchange

The router shows it's fully connected with good up and down speeds.
Looks like a DNS problem as it claims it can't resolve the address. I
guess BT are doing maintenance and haven't bothered to tell Plusnet.

Can you ping things by IP addr? 158.152.1.65 is an old favourite. Set
your own DNS to 8.8.8.8 if you don't mind Google knowing your lookups,
or 208.67.222.222 if you don't mind Cisco knowing them ...

BT maintenance usually happens overnight, there is usually a list of
affected exchanges on the status page, none planned between 24th and 27th.

Sounds like a typical BT owned company mess up.. :-)
