Ok, here's the issue.  My broadband is working fine through the phone line, but I cannot get a dial tone on the phone.  I have tried two separate phones, and still no luck.  Is there any way to troubleshoot the line myself before I call Windstream in the morning?  The line was just run on Friday, but I just got around to checking the phone line yesterday.  Thanks!

DSL.

Running a wireless modem split off from the phone jack with the provided filter.  The DSL side of the splitter works, but the phone line does not.

If you remove the splitter totally, can you get a dial tone? It is possible for splitters to go bad. If still cant get a dial tone, call your provider. They could be having issues. And yes, possible to have internet and no phone.
