CNN initially came out with a statement that basically pushed the blame onto RCN with a request for more information, according to Variety.
The only possible way this all could have happened, assuming it wasn’t just a hoax, would involve the subscriber’s equipment malfunctioning, but that would require testing.
And that was then followed by an official statement form RCN Boston senior Vice President and general manager Jeff Carlson, which stated there had been no other reports of the incident surfaced outside of the one tweet, and that the user’s account is normal.
