You are mistaken.

I have systems that have been upgraded to 12.04 from as far back as 7.10.  
There's really almost never a reason to reinstall.

Also, unless someone mails you the installation media, you'll have to download 
that, so reinstalling will not save bandwidth.  It's also not faster if you 
include the time needed to download the installation media.
