Anyone have insight into why Bell won't release my landline number?

I'm not moving houses, the name on the accounts are exactly the same. Tried to switch about 2-3 years ago, same issue. Ended up dropping everything but the phone line (which unbundled is like $50/month). I somehow wound up back with Bell but now Rogers is offering a much better TV/Internet/Phone bundle deal. However, the same issue with porting the landline number has come up again. No one can give me a straight answer on why this is happening. Rogers says Bell owns the line and won't release it. I called Bell and they said Rogers has to request it (I told them they did that, and they just gave me some random excuse). So now I'm stuck unless I give in an change phone numbers...

Over the last few weeks, there has bee 2 occasions of 2 hour internet outage, and I cannot use my house phone. I have a cell phone which I can use during this outage, or else I am stuck. If your Bell phone line is an actual landline, consider keeping it if you require security (without the use of cell phone), or you need phone service to do work or trading on the stock market.

the bell line MUST be active for it to be ported to another company
