Bad practice to use test jack in network interface device (NID)?

I have DSL. I recently discovered the RJ11 cable coming into the house is damaged (it's old AF). If I jiggle the cord I can either lose my signal entirely, or as I found out- double my downlink bandwidth. So I bought a new nice RJ11 cord off amazon to run from the NID to my modem. Now I'm wondering if I should run it directly into the test jack inside the NID, or cut the head off and wire it to the posts. Any thoughts?
