Broadband for a Scouts HQ

Tricky one this.Let me explain......
One of our local scout groups,has asked me to look into getting a broadband connection into their premises.Now to get it as cheap as possible,it would be nice to get it as a 'home' broadband package,which I have just tried to get with 02,but it would appear that the phone line could be a business line,and so it won't let me complete.
It's shame really,because had I have been able to 'wing it' and get 02,then because I'm an 02 mobile customer,I would have got it at a subsidised rate,plus all the benefits that come with 02. (Free router,tech support,unlimited downloads etc etc.) Even the fact that they wanted a static ip @ £4.95pm,still made it cheap.
So the question dear friends is....
Who is the best value for business broadband,should I need to go down that route?
The thing is,the scouts are a non profit organisation,so to get 'home' broadband,would have been less of a dent in their coffers.

Have you checked the line at http://www.samknows.com/broadband/search.php - is the local exchange enabled with O2?
Don't go with BT business BB they throttle the connection
My advice would be to phone up O2 (they have a freephone number) and see if you can sort something out - they are usually quite helpful
Who pays the phone bill for the scouts? get them to check if it is definately a business line0 -
We used AOL on a business line for many years, paid on a personal cc.0
