The good news is that the probe is inert – it has no nuclear material to worry about. The bad news is that it weighs almost 500 kg and could be travelling at around 240 km/h (150 mph) when it hits, according to Dutch lecturer on space situational awareness Dr Marco Langbroek. Exactly where the probe will come down is unclear; Langbroek wrote that current modelling puts it anywhere between latitude 52 N and 52 S. As the reentry nears, the estimates will become more refined.
Interestingly, Delft, where his university is, just fits in this area. I wonder if he's off to his underground lair?

Container pulling, downloading games, backups for photography / videos are all things that like bandwidth.

Having got a fast connection by most people's standards (10Gb symetrical), the bottleneck is normally out on the Internet, for example the last Apple MacOS update limped in at ~2Gb
There's 25Gb for ~£60 a month over here. I don't miss UK broadband...
By the early 2000s I could hire sysadmins that left school at 16 but had half-a-dozen years of experience of building Linux system and would configure sendmail (it was a different time, we didn't consider it child abuse back then)
That's the kind of thing that could get you Exim trouble these days...
