I am using @Cloudflare and i am enjoying the service, but i have noticed that both NS provided while i have created my account are in the same subnet
NS1 alec.ns.Cloudflare.com IP 173.245.59.59
NS2 karina.ns.Cloudflare.com IP 173.245.58.178
this means in the same location. Based on my knowledge NS shall be in different physical locations.
Anyone has additional information ?
See this glossary article:

Since CF uses Anycast as described above, requests will be routed to the physically closest datacenter since they all advertise that they own the above IP address.
