From what you say, in spite of the aquired brain injury I currently

phone service until less than a year ago, and the like, my body is
too much trouble to keep alive, no longer can communicate with the
outside world safely, do my job, etc without the seizures all VOIp
services cause me..with tests to support this.
Seems like a fine time to go according to you, since according to
you, I cannot achieve what I have done just fine, even with the
physical resources for it here in my house, or existing analog
customers being around
First off, I cannot comment on your health issues. However, I can
comment on telecom issues, having worked in the field for over half a
century. The world is moving to IP for just about everything and that
over fibre. Carriers, such as Bell or Rogers, run fibre out into the
community, in some cases converting to copper in the neighbourhood and
more and more often directly in the consumer's home or office.
Second, I first came across digital audio, for phone service in 1975 and
it's been growing ever since. A bit about me, I started working in
telecom in 1972. I spent 23 years working for CN Telecommunications,
CNCP and Unitel, as the company ownership changed. Most of that time I
worked as a technician, but for my last 5 years, I was in planning,
where I planned the installation of telecom equipment, both in the
office at 151 Front St. W. as well as customer sites in downtown
Toronto. Even back then, everything I worked on was 100% digital. That
was almost 30 years ago. Since then, my work has been largely services
provided over IP, including voice. It been years since I've seen voice
provided over anything other than IP. Even some of the old Time
Division Multiplex (TDM) services were emulated over IP.
As someone with all that experience, I cannot conceive of anything that
would contribute to your issues, other than possibly getting a CODEC
that tries to minimize bandwidth to the point that it causes noticeable
distortion. With the bandwidth available now, there's no reason for
such CODECs to be used.
Regardless, I wouldn't be surprised if Bell is unable to provide what
you want. I know Rogers can't. Even if Bell were able to provide it,
your calls would be analog only as far as their office, if that far.
Everything beyond would be digital, likely over IP.
