Online video commercials don't stream at same rate as original video?

Any time I watch a TV show online that has commercials in addition (such as on Hulu.com) the TV show loads and plays with no problem and no delays at my bandwidth, but the commercials always have problems downloading and they play with gaps in time as if a kid was playing around pushing play, pause, play, pause etc. Why does this happen? Is there a way to fix it so that this does not happen?
