The full 1996 dial-up experience: the handshake, the wait, someone picking up the phone. Sound on.

That cometlink website somehow feels too well-done for 1996
the ‘computer’ booted up way too fast, too.
Not enough hard drive clicking noise either.
I think it’s trying to be like an AOL/CompuServe type instead of a standard ISP, which back then would not have had nearly that much information.
I think it’s sort of like… a passing generalization, like how accurate a ren faire is or a theme park. heh
It wasn’t really quite like that, but this is close enough to give folks not around then a general taste of it. :)
