Migration assistant going to take 50 hours?

So I’ve already researched enough online to know that transferring information through the migration assistant with WiFi, it’s going to take a while.Currently, my computers are stating 50 hours left. But does anyone know if it actually take that long? Does it take longer? Really don’t want to wait two days to use my new computer!

It can take a very long time over wi-fi. Much faster to use a Time Machine backup or clone to do the transfer. If you have a Time Machine backup or clone, I'd stop the wi-fi transfer and use that. Migration Assistant won't duplicate any files that have already been transferred.
