I had similar problems about 1 year ago. Transmitting on 160 even at low power instantly wiped out the ADSL, even though there was no audible interference 
on the telephone. I also tried toroids on power and data cables with little improvement.

In the end I bought a telephone filter from Radio Shack (less than $15),
which completely solved the problem. No interference now even with 1500W
on 160. Sorry, I forgot the actual model number, but I don't think Radio
Shack has many different models to choose from.
