How long does it typically take to upgrade to iOS 8?

[iMore Question]

I'm obviously very concerned that I might run into some issues (described by many of you here) following my update, but I can't seem to stop myself from wanting to update to iOS8. I don't know why. I pray all goes smoothly. I've cleared enough memory for the update- 5GB free geez. So it better work. It's just taking really long to update though, like does the time really vary between 45 min to 3 hours? (Who even has 3 hours for this in life?)

Hopefully everything worked out well for you and your enjoying your updated device

I did mine in the evening starting about 6pm when I knew I would be home on my fast wi-fi and access to my landline.

I did mine when it was released within the first minutes. The time fluctuated some. Overall it probably took about an hour. Hope it went well for you.
