[Full-disclosure] My ISP is routing traffic to private addresses...

So today when trying to access a device on my network (172.30.x.x range) I
was taken to the web interface of a completely different device. This
baffled me at first, but after a bit of poking around, I determined that my
ISP was actually routing traffic to these addresses. See the trace below

Tracing route to 172.30.4.18 over a maximum of 30 hops

  1 11 ms 18 ms 19 ms XXXXXXXXX
  2 30 ms 178 ms 212 ms vl4.aggr1.phdl.pa.rcn.net [208.59.252.1]
  3 13 ms 18 ms 13 ms tge0-1-0-0.core1.phdl.pa.rcn.net[207.172.15.50]

  4 37 ms 39 ms 57 ms tge0-0-0-2.core1.lnh.md.rcn.net[207.172.19.227]

  5 35 ms 34 ms 32 ms tge0-1-0-1.core1.chgo.il.rcn.net[207.172.19.235
]
  6 42 ms 38 ms 39 ms port-chan13.aggr2.chgo.il.rcn.net[207.172.15.20
1]
  7 37 ms 39 ms 39 ms
port-chan1.mart-ubr1.chi-mart.il.cable.rcn.net [
207.229.191.132]
  8 57 ms 61 ms 53 ms 172.30.4.18

Trace complete.

So I break out nmap and do a quick scan, and find that there are thousands
of these devices across this IP range. Has anybody ever seen anything like
this? Surely this must be a mistake, right? If anybody else is using RCN
as an ISP, can you access these addresses as well?
