Road Runner Cable network crazyness?

I'm posting this since it's probably something I did. I've tried this at 2 independent RR locations. I can ping anything in 10.95/16 and 10.94/16 and get a reply. The traceroutes end up somewhere in Ohio it appears. Could anyone confirm or deny this? thanks.

Code:
 %traceroute 10.95.170.200
traceroute to 10.95.170.200 (10.95.170.200), 64 hops max, 40 byte packets

I can't ping every address in those nets, but a lot of them.

I should not be able to hit any of these, right. Clearly you can see the pings go into rr.com network. That shouldn't be right?

I'm afraid that if I call RR, I'll get a level 1 tech asking if I run windows XP or 7.
 
@marky-mark,

You're pinging these IPs from a different network than RR's, and you see the traffic going from your network into RR's network? At first I thought that some business customer of RR's was inadvertently advertising its LAN ranges to the outside, combined with RR not using proper egress/ingress filtering on its routers (enabling other RR customers to connect to this network), but if those 10.x networks make it to the outside world, something's severely amiss in RR's BGP/routing policies ... (BTW, your network shouldn't allow you to connect to a 10 network on the Internet either ..)
 
Can only ping these from inside the RR network. Outside doesn't work.

thanks for the reply. Suppose I'll have to contact RR because this is messing up my VPN.

(the vpn is/was off while preforming the tests)
