Not really.
It doesn't break RFC because road runner doesn't route any of those IP's
outside their network, it is all internal for their management.
It's an easy way to give them IP management of your cable box, cable

At the crux of it the network Time warner runs is owned and controlled by
them. They aren't breaking any RFC rules by routing 1918 space on their
