Using Acanac for VoIP service if they are your ISP as well seems like a nice
idea, but they are "small fry". I wouldn't put all my eggs in one basket like
that. In the #asterisk community the ones that are better regarded are voip.ms
, bandwidth.com , unlimitel.ca , les.net , and vitelity.net
This is from my being one of the most active people in #asterisk over the past
5 years.

Subject: Re: [MLUG] ot: distributel & acanc combo
number portability didn't work in my experience.I think the issue is that the
phone company you are porting to has to offer real phone numbers (ie. havesome
hardware) in the area code.
many (most) voip providers do not meet this test.
I was lucky. My wife uses her cell-phone for call-only.Had my home phone
number ported to her cell (Rogers)and have permantently forwarded that to my
new voip number.
Roger's dings me for call forwarding minutes, but at least people who didn't
get notified of the new phone number can still get to my voice mail (which
delivers straight to my email, in mp3 files, for free)
p.s. my phone is 5.95$/mo, + 1.50$ for 911 support.and then around 2 cents a
minute (for outgoing calls.)Altogether, I pay less than 10$, and it still feels
like an old fashion phone (user experience for my wife.)
yeah there was a 5$ bump for dry-line to my ISP. but it's still less than a
third of what Bell shook me down for every month, and don't get me started on
LD rape.

Canadian law now says that you can keep your phone number period! The company
MUST comply to your request.
