For some reason the ads don't run on my computer in Hulu. The programs are fine but the ads skip and start in fits. If Hulu+ fixed that problem I would try it.
We have the exact same problem - show plays fine, ads freeze up every other second so watching a 30 second ad takes 1-2 minutes. Seems like many people are having this problem but hulu refuses to fix it. I like their content but am going to drop my hulu+ subscription if they don't address this.
