A user device may receive information that identifies a service preference for the user device. The user device may determine an application threshold based on an application that is being executed by the user device. The user device may determine first network metric values associated with a cellular network, and determine second network metric values associated with a wireless local area network. The user device may automatically switch connectivity, of the user device, between the cellular network and the wireless local area network based on the service preference, the application threshold, the first network metric values, and the second network metric values.
