    skype uses 3-4 kb/s
    and minecraft uses more as your client constantly sends data to the server and whenever you do something ingame the client sends a bit of extra data.

    so my guess is that minecraft uses more internet bandwidth in 1 hour then skype does in 8 hours

    the thing that uses most internet bandwidth is most of the time your internet browser and maybe you watching vids or something

    .. I think he actually means which program is used more - Minecraft or Skype.

    Otherwise he wouldn't have compared the amount of hour(s) his sister and himself spend on each program.

    I'd say Skype overall - Just because Skype was out before Minecraft so therefore the amount of users that use it over Minecraft and the amount of time [just because no one likes to keep opening and closing their "communication programs"] would be Skype.

    ie. You'd always on Skype for more reasons than Minecraft.

    Minecraft is just a game - Targetted at only Minecraft players.

    Skype is a VOIP program - Targetted at ALL users who uses VOIP [Which far surpasses the amount of users that play Minecraft.]
