I think the third scenario is likely to be problematic. My understanding is that your third scenario would require that the customers' networks all be part of the same site as the ISP network - at least as far in as a DNS server somewhere. I imagine some ISPs might want to draw a site boundary somewhere between the ISP edge and the CPE; either in the CPE or in the ISP edge device or by declaring the CPE-PE link to be not in either site...
