[GTALUG] Forced off DSL by Bell

Hi, Bell notified me that they will soon be shutting down my copper telephone service, no options. My DSL to TekSavvy will go with it. Joy. I run my own NAT/mail/vpn server firewall and I want to keep it. Apparently, others have been able connect to Bell by turning on PPPoE pass through on the Bell (HH4000) modem. Has anyone on the list gone this route? Is Bell still dreadful, even on fibre? Am I crazy to look at Rogers? PS: I pay ~$40/Mo for landline, which looks to increase to $52 after the change!
