Took me about 4 months to get a sub 20 single, 6 months to get a sub 20 Ao5, 7 months to get a sub 20 Ao12... yet to get a sub 20 Ao50 - currently average about 21 and I've been cubing almost 8 months.
 
Took me just under 2 months to get a sub 20 single, because I averaged 21 and couldn't get a sub 20 for my life. It was shortly after that that I averaged sub 20.. So lets call it about 2 months. Going on 8 months now..

EDIT: I mean from the time I could solve a cube. In my time speedcubing it took about a month or less. I voted 1-2.. So I guess I've been able to SOLVE a cube for 8 months, or speedsolving for 7.

I started speedcubing roughly June 2011... I got my first sub-20 average of 100 maybe a month or so ago, so I guess 2-3 years. Puts me behind the pace apparently, although I account it to being largely absorbed in events that aren't 3x3 too often :D
 
I started in June 2011, stopped in Oktober 2011 and restarted in August 2012. So that are a total of 9 months now, or 5 months since restart, and I am still not even sub 30.

Update, 7 months later:
About three weeks ago, I got my first sub-20 single, but with OLL skip.
Currently I'm averaging around 28 seconds.

So not sub-20 yet...
 
It took me almost a year from when I learned to solve it till I got my first sub 60 single, then another year to average around 50 (I was not practicing much most of the time).
Then I switched from LBL with a rubik's brand to CFOP with a GuHong and used 3 months to get sub 30 and then another year to get sub 20.

I have now used a half year to get from 20 to 18.
