your best bet is probably vonage.. they offer a lot of services included that both Rogers and Bell will charge you extra for.
including call forwarding and voicemail.
not to mention vonage-to-vonage calls are always free.. that's a pretty big network..
that, and a couple people I know who tried Bell didn't have very good connectivity either.
I have heard rhumors that a company provides total-ring features that would ring your VOIP line and call-forward ringer all at once.
Just make sure you're aware of the impact this will have for your 911 service. There are things you need to do to make sure emergency response doesn't go to a house you're not at in the event you're unable to tell the 911 operator which house you're really at. (this is definitely something people should think about if they have kids...).
on a side note, I find it curious that i can pinpoint the locality of an IP address, but VOIP companies can't forward you to your local emergency call centre automatically.
