Eric was right in that you should use Antronix splitters, however the way you should actually have it set up is you should have your main cable line from the street go into a 2 way antronix splitter. 1 leg from the 2 way Antronix splitter goes to the cable modem directly and the other leg can go...
I am going to advise against using cheap radio shack and dollar store splitters, if you actually opened them up ( I have before ) you would see a real difference and also when you put them on a signal meter you see a difference. Also keep in mind that if you do something wrong and somehow mess...
I am going to recommend the Yealink Phones as well. They are a great phone and good price, I have the T22p and it has never failed on me and i have had it for well over a year and a half now
I will warn you now that signal extenders while they do exist they are all crap and will half the speed of wifi and are a real bad solution. Look into a Access point instead and run a cable from the access point back to your router.

I cant really tell from the ebay pictures but that may be solder on center crimp on outer ring you will find out when you get it as the solder on center would have a hole to feed the solder in like shown in the youtube video.
I have seen some that are crimp on as well, though and as dashpuppy said it does depend on which one you buy but i was going by the picture posted which shows a solder on connector. Bah double post sorry about that : /
I though id jump in and answer the pin question quick, The center pin is soldered onto the middle copper then you slide the ring onto the cable and then put the screw on the cable and then slide the ring up and crimp. There are many vids on youtube about this connector and how to do it. Also the...
