DSL vs Cable vs DirectTV Broadband

This week my sister called me and asked DSL vs Cable vs DirectTV. This is my advice on it in first off the lag times on DirectTV are high so eliminate that choice. Now DSL vs Cable, this has been debated endlessly and both have their pros and cons, but my take on it is "If you have ask then it won't matter go for whatever is cheaper" I know that probably irks some, especially those lauding so virtues of one or the other, but from my experience they won't know or care. My girlfriend's connection is a prime example of this she has a wireless ISP, which I find painfully slow, but she only seems to care when downloading The Show and for her it certainly isn't worth the $60 _more_ a month I pay for my connection.
