Can a customer take IP's with them?

| Why? Nobody cares who owns the IPs, just whether or not the ISP allows

| ability to do.

Not necessarily.  Use of the IPs is effectively licensed to the ISP by
the RIR, and sublicensed by the ISP to the user.  If either breaches any
conditions under which the IPs are licensed, then the ISP should expect
to LOSE the right to sublicense them.
