20MB MACs are rare yes. You can find them if you are in an area where lots of people are subscribed to 20MB but apart from that, you'll have to make do with 10MB i'm afraid. But hey, it's free

Most of the 20Meg users are now migrated to the newer overlays so unless you scan from a 20Meg modem you wont see many and even on the correct overlay you probably wont see that many.

Best time to scan is, as its always been, just after VM has had an outage when all the subbed modems are trying to get back online. You usually see hundreds of em !
