It loaded for me just fine as well, and I am on DSL. But I do have to agree about the clock arrangement of the logo. After clicking the #4 first (probably because it spun around and called attention to itself over the others), I then figured out that I probably should go in numerical order. So I would suggest a litte "mouse-over" related type of some kind somewhere on the page so people know where the link will be taking them before they click.
However, I really do like the clock design and the peel back of your Initials logo. I also like how you use it as a site navigational tool on the upper left-hand side. And the site is easy to read, in general. Great job! :) Cheers.
