Despite the new VDSL2 services being called that, Bell ****ed up the 
implementation using DSLAMs supporting a pre-standard version of VDSL2. 
The only way the a Modem can operate on the Bell VDSL2 Network (which is 
accessed in a wholesale model by all the other ISPs, including Teksavvy) 
is with modems that have firmware tailored to deal with these DSLAMs. 
Currently the only place to get those Modems is through Bell, hence why 
you have to rent your modem from Teksavvy or any other provider.

Now I've played around with both the CellPipe and Sagemcom modems that 
Bell has deployed for this network. When using the LAN ports I've had no 
problems bridging transparently. I did have one issue while testing our 
MLPPP setup where a bad combination in the PPPoE was causing the session 
to be rejected by the Modem before passing it onto the ISP. A tcpdump 
showed this relatively clearly during the protocol negotiation.

I'd like to know more about your "lost" server connection.
How are you cabling through the modems?
What services are you running?
