Trace Root Odd IP

That would be a device within your ISP's internal network

Oh okay, I just thought it was odd that it would be like that.

As the world runs out of real public IPv4 addresses, more and more of your ISP's addresses are going to be private IPv4 addresses until they (and you) get with IPv6

I tried to remain child-like, all I achieved was childish.

But I have a regular IP. My regular IP then goes to that private IP

I`m pretty sure they dont have any commercial Customers lol. I`m the ONLY one here to get there NEW 24 meg connection, I was there beta test, There is only 5,000 ish people that live in my county and its a small cable company Northland Cable.

This hints they do have commercial customers

Those IPs are for a device that's carrying your traffic, not the link itself. For example, the 10.6.112.1 IP is the bundle IP address of the CMTS (cable modem termination system), not the WAN port on the CMTS.
Your public IP address is being carried (bridged/tunneled/whatever you want to call it) by the cable modem to the CMTS, and then the CMTS hands it off to another router for transport to the public internet.
This is different from NAT, in that your public IP is never translated, it's just encapsulated for a section of transport across the network.
