Welcome to your Bell Better home. Aren't you sure glad you've supported them all this time? Maybe this is Bell's way of making up for the exceptional service you've received thus far.
I seriously do hope you get it fixed though, I'd be annoyed as hell to have a shitload of police at my door on an ongoing daily basis..

We are now picking up all distinctive ring calls on the line. The fault is at Bell as there is no first call. When the phone rings it is the OSPS. My next call tomorrow will be to bell's Executive Care line. And if that is not responsive, I'll be paying a visit to the Deputy Chief of Police to ask for their help in resolving this.

I also learned that I am considered a "high profile" person and generate a high priority police response if I don't answer the phone.

No. It's not available in this area.

Oh. Then I guess you can't do much about it, as I don't think VOIP is reliable enough.

and since it's the "fax" line service, most digital phone services don't work with faxes.

Most? Typical FUD. Some specific services don't work with faxing, but the major ones work with faxing just fine. Hell, I used my Talkbroadband connection to fax documents to my bank last weekend and there was no issue at all.

Congratulations! I've known LOTS of people give up on RHP for example because it won't.

Rogers sucks. No surprise there. TBB and Vonage can fax just fine.

More or less, yes. VoIP is just not meant for faxing. There are things like T.38 that are meant to help solve this, but in general, they're not well supported. Even Asterisk doesn't do T.38.

TBB and Vonage work, but it might be hit and miss.

I have rogers digital home phone in our officer here at the house and the Fax has never once failed us in 3 years. I'm guessing it could possibly rely on the type/quality of fax machine used. We've got an aficio ricoh mp 2000..

Again, that's irrelevant. Rogers@Home is not available in this area. It will be several years before it is. I have that information directly from Rogers, as I work with them and know a number of senior staff on the cable side. That information comes from technical people.

@videotron.ca
I would be worried that when a REAL 911 call is required, the police may not take it as serious since your address generated more 911 calls than 10 city blocks

all I can say is thank goodness none of them have been real
BUT I have to wonder if one of them was would they be just shoved aside as another false ?
