Bug Description

"""
You have to download a total of 5276 M. This download will take about
11 hours with a 1Mbit DSL connection and about 8 days 12 hours with a
56k modem.
"""

Are meaningless. On 4G connectivity one can get stable 4-6 Mbit, developing world speeds are 8-10 Mbit range, and developed world speeds are 40+ Mbit

Please update the download time estimates using the 40 MBit and 5 Mbit connections.

Using 5 Mbaud and 40 Mbaud as reference makes calculating the expected time for the actual connection difficult. How about 10 and 100 Mbaud?

This bug was fixed in the package ubuntu-release-upgrader - 1:22.04.5

---------------
ubuntu-release-upgrader (1:22.04.5) jammy; urgency=medium

  [ Brian Murray ]
  * debian/control: rename the main branch
  * Increase the fallback KERNEL_INITRD_SIZE so that there is room for
    commonly used modules in the initramfs subsequently some upgrades may be
    disallowed due to a lack of free space in /boot.
  * Run pre-build.sh: updating mirrors, demotions, and translations.

  [ Nick Rosbrook ]
  * Update download rates in estimated download message (LP: #1947581)
  * Use org.freedesktop.ScreenSaver to inhibit screen lock (LP: #1959458).
    This approach also works in Kubuntu.
