I've been told to assume it takes as long as 48 hours for a DNS change to propagate throughout the entire Internet, because some DNS servers cache their entries for longer than my TTL.

However, for years and across ISPs and domains, every time I've made a DNS change I see the effects within a couple of hours.

Is it still true that I need to assume a full two days for everyone to see my changes?
