This idea might be a bit too naive but it seems like it could help
1) Record the IP address and edge of connecting clients
2) Use an IP API to determine the rough location and ISP of clients based on their IP
3) Spatially query the edge closest to each client and graph/log serious mismatches (>x miles off)
4) Cast the spells required to route offending ISP better
5) See if the data improves :)
For example, the IAD edge would record that I connected from San Diego via Cox Communications. My closest edge geographically is LAX so that's ~2500 miles of excess travel!
