8 lines is going to be serious money whatever way you look at it.
There are probably better ways depending on the actual requirements.

If the requirement is just for higher speed download and you can
tolerate a high latency then look at a satellite feed, but be careful
to check the specs.

Andrews & Arnold support line bonding[1] with various methods depending
on the requirement, including splitting traffic between BT and BE for
reliability if your exchange has access to BE.

They also have other options like fiber and copper based ethernet[2]

Talk to them. Explain your problem/requirement and they'll give you
an honest answer not just try and sell you something.
