the crash was caused by the kernel itself, meaning there was either some large error or there's an unsaid driver conflicting with it
run windows update

Making an ISO or disk image out of certain disks (movies, video games, most copyrighted material) is against the law under certain circumstances, but they're for archival purposes under fair use, so I think they're fine. Check your local laws. Here's an article about legality if you want to read more.
I personally use Alcohol 52%, but I hear you can use VLC to rip them instead of making a disk image. Either way this guide is pretty informative.

A standard 2:40 video at 360p on YouTube should only use ~10MB. Not exactly sure about 1080p videos (I don't watch them in 1080p because I don't feel like it,) but it should be around 4 or 5 times that of 360p. Skype uses a hell of a lot of bandwidth, an hour conversation with 5 people in it cost about 1.8GB of download and 0.4GB of upload. With video I think it's multiplied by 1.2x but I'm not exactly sure as I don't use Skype video chat. Ventrilo and TeamSpeak barely use any bandwidth, while talking for an hour with 3 people I only used 53.62MB download, 15.03MB upload on Ventrilo, and around the same with TeamSpeak. Skype eats way too much bandwidth for what it is. Downloading high-res images is somewhat costly too, but not insane. 30 pictures ranging from 800x1054 to 4028x6780 only costs me ~103MB. I never use more than ~700MB of bandwidth daily. I'm assuming you use at least three times more than me.

A home theater? At least a Dual-Core Processor at ~1.8GHz should be sufficient for decoding most types of video, also an HDCP ready video card with HDMI (most integrated graphics have this nowadays) or S-Video, and a Blu-Ray drive or TV/Satellite tuner is optional. Hard drive space is also pure option. It shouldn't take much RAM, but if you're going to have Windows on it use at least 2GB or more.

Hey Koopa, you're in Kitchener? Oshawa here. Haha.

Anyway apparently Bell does this thing where it secretly slowly lowers the bandwidth cap and doesn't tell you. It doesn't even list it on it's website.

I changed my network name and installed monitoring software on every computer. Lets see what happens.

Not really Kitchener, the Bell nodes were in London. I'm closer to Michigan than that, Eslove county.
Good luck.

Get Cogeco, in my experience it has been the best isp.

I'd have to agree, despite their speed to bandwidth ratio, it's a hell of a lot more reliable than Bell.

When my family was with Bell, we apparently used 6GB of usage out of our 60GB bandwidth cap when we were out of town for the weekend with our modem unplugged. And in their calculated bandwidth total for that same month, 3GB of data was missing from the daily chart and the calculated total. They're loving with you.
Another thing, they actually updated our modem firmware without our consent, and that left the wireless on the modem unlocked and on instead of it being off for 12 days. You might want to check that immediately.
