You'll find file download via Internet Explorer with show the download speed in either B/s, KB/s or MB/s. You'll need to convert then to Mb/s, to compare to your XL 20Mb/s connection.
L@@k here;
http://www.speedguide.net/conversion.php and put your added together download speed in the correct box Kilobytes (KB) or Megabytes (MB) on the right hand side, then hit calculate button and it will convert to megabits (mb) mddle box on the left hand side.
Hope this helps,
bits and bytes here is the order:
1 bit = a single digit, either 1 or 0
8 bits = 1 byte, a combination of 1's and 0's
1024 Bytes = 1 KB (kilobyte)
1024 Kilobytes = 1 MB (megabyte)
1024 Megabytes = 1 GB (gigabyte)
