Just to put a bit of perspective on the direction in which this thread has spun, what is your d/l speed with your dial-up connection...how many Kbps?
The best estimate I can give is based on my download meter, which usually indicates somewhere between 4.0 and 5.1 Kbps. As noted elsewhere, Apple estimated a 435MB download (OS 10.7.2 update*) to take 27 hours. * When I went to the Apple support site on another computer, it stated that the size of the download was 768MB; I don't know why the discrepancy.
