Yes, but as I understand it, not all telcos will lease such pairs.

It used to be that they were commonly used for burglar alarms (maybe
still) and that you could ask for one of those. 

Well, the case that I was interested in some years ago was where I would
use both ends of, say, a T1 link.  Maybe home to work, or something like
that.

As I understood it (again, some years ago) the school district could do
that to link schools to the central office, sometimes chaining through
schools to get there.  That was an upgrade from ISDN that they were
previously running.
