Bug Description
1. Install the previous version of Ubuntu.
2. Launch Update Manager or Software Updater.
3. Advance to the "Do you want to start the upgrade?" step.
What you see: Something like "You have to download a total of 1,102M. This download will take about 2 hours 20 minutes with a 1Mbit DSL connection and about 1 day 18 hours with a 56k modem."
It's likely that some people still use Ubuntu on dial-up, but giving an estimate this way makes Ubuntu look old. We should find a more sensible way to present the estimate, for example, showing the 56k version only if you *do* have a 56k connection.

Ten years have passed ...
I think the prevalence of dial-up modems has decreased to almost non-existence by now. Please rephrase the text in the dialog.
