If there is any ISP withing 10 km of where they are located then they may be able to install a radio link (Wi-Fi) as copied below or the equivalent and the material cost is only £703.82 inc VAT as noted below. This would enable a high speed radio link into their location, up to 54 Mbps but more likely around 11 Mbps. However, since it is radio the main problem is going to be line of sight clearance between them and an ISP. This would give them a standard Ethernet interface at each end. Therefore if there is an ISP within such a distance and they can get a clear line of sight then I'm sure someone could install it for a nominal fee. Since BT said they would be willing to pay £8,000 then why not ask them to install a simple radio link as below. This is an unlicensed band radio so anyone can use this band without a license from the regulatory body. Good luck.
