As stated when I raised the question, I tried it when the Bell tech installed this frankly modem based mess on Wednesday the day of my move. Not only did it distort sound, but it cut in and out. My edition is less than two years old, although I have used the same phone for many years indeed, it was actually provided as a piece of adaptive technology by my phone provider at the time when I was diagnosed.

Not quite. I was saying that Teksavvy uses different in-home router equipment than Bell and it might be friendlier to your analog phone.
Having said that, I agree with Hugh that it should be Bell's problem and task to ensure that you're able to use your phone on their equipment. Rendering your existing phone non-functional on its new installation may be in violation of AODA.
What is so special about this phone that it can't be used with the emulated POTS service? Has anyone even tried? I am using the same phone I was using over 30 years ago, when it was a real POTS line and I see no difference on Rogers home phone.
