Need help splicing into phone line?

having troubles after adding a new jack splicing into phone line. I spliced into the blue wiring and ran it to the new jack. Now I dont know why but the DSL works but I cant get a dial tone and none of the jacks in the house work. Does it matter where I splice it at? Any help would be great. Thanks.

geaaaa, man.what did you do?

Separating the DSL signal from the telephone service requires either a splitter in or near the NID or filters at each telephone device. Ideally, the DSL service provider will install a DSL splitter module inside the NID or in a separate enclosure next to the NID and run a new cable to the DSL modem location. But many service providers will avoid the cost of sending a technician to install a splitter and instead will provide filters as part of a "self installation kit." In addition to the DSL modem or router and the cables to connect it to the line and to your computer or LAN, these kits include a few filters (also known as "microfilters") for your phones. The kit may also include a few duplex adapters to so that you can use one jack for both the DSL connection and a voice connection or one filter for several voice connections. Of course, there will probably be an additional charge for the filters and adapters.

furthermore.

If filters are used instead of a splitter, a maximum of five or six telephone devices with filters can be used before they begin to excessively degrade the DSL signal. Remember that "telephone devices" include answering machines, fax machines, and satellite/cable receivers with phone line connections. Don%26#39;t forget modems - you%26#39;ll want to keep dialup as a backup capability and may need a modem to connect to the remote access at your office. If you%26#39;re looking at this page, I%26#39;d wager you have more than six telephone devices. Even if you can limit your installation to five or six telephone devices, you%26#39;ll probably have to buy more filters than will be included in a self installation kit. The cost of just the additional filters would probably pay for a splitter.
