Does the customer ever really know where the phone line goes physically
once it leaves their house?

I sure don't have a clue, other than I imagine it usually goes to the
nearest CO, although it may not always.

At my previous job, we had ADSL and it worked great.  We could see the
local CO out the window (it was about 100m down the road).  No problems
with ADSL ever (other than the day the original ADSL modem died).
