Never do what he just did. ALWAYS run a new IW all the way from new jack to the NID. Make troubleshooting a whole lot easier

Mr Wizard, Condoning daisy chain phone wiring has been obsolete since the 80's.....Homeruning / Star topology is the only way now -a-days

@wildwoodtop

Cat3 would do just fine, Unless you have a digital telephone system. then use Cat5e.

If you are constructing a new home might i suggest running a second Cat5e Wire for use with Internet. Then you can just plug your internet into the wall from many locations inside your home.
