We had this problem at our place, there are 5 jacks around the house, and when we got broadband I tried it first with in-line filters on the two phones but could not get an ADSL signal.
Even tried with no phones plugged in but still couldn't get it working.
In the end I had to install a master splitter on the incoming line and that fixed it.

You would have installed a dedicated ADSL jack after the master splitter. Were you even able to get dial tone from the existing jacks that weren't being used for phones? No signal at all points to a wiring problem.

Yep all phone jacks were working fine and all are still working.
And yes now that I have installed a master splitter I have a dedicated jack for the ADSL router.
