Quick guess: Just delete the "eth0" section from the /etc/network/interfaces
and it should work.

Nope, the ethernet interface that connects to the DSL Modem does not need an
IP address and you don't have to configure it at all.

I disagree about the sensible output: the problem lies with your default
route. Your modem is given as default route, but actually you'd need the PPP
peer (64.39.160.16) at the other's side. This route is added automatically
by ppp. Try to delete the "default 172.16.0.254" line in your eth0
definition or delete the eth0 definition completely. The modem does not know
what to do with the packets.

It's PPP so subnets don't make sense anyway,

You don't want that, it's done by pppd

^^^^^^^^^^^^
Here's your default gateway.
