20Mb in Kb is 20,000Kb (1 megabit is 1000 kilobits) - be careful of not confusing Mb and MB, and Kb and KB;
Mb = Megabits,
Kb = Kilobits,
MB = Megabytes,
KB = Kilobytes.
8 bits to a byte, so if something says 500KB, it equals 4000Kb (or 4Mb).
So if you are on 10Mb, if you download something that measures speed in KB, you should be getting approx 1.1 - 1.25MB/sec (ideally).
