Batch Geocoding

Does anyone have suggestions for a good batch geocoding program?

In the past I used GPS Visualizer, but sometimes it truncates the information that is input. I have found a program by TAMU, but they charge after 2500 data points. Thank you in advance for your information.

Comcast/Xfinity just more than doubled my download speed to over 120 MBPS

Got an email today about them doubling my download speed and all I had to do was reboot the modem, router and computer.
