Ping the clients and average out data from clients near the lat/long sent with the request and compare to the client in question.

Apply a max threshold to check if a client is reasonably close to potential "co-located" clients.

You can't shrink physical distance. Pinging a server in a nearby US city is 13ms. Hong Kong is 232ms.
