Methods, systems, and devices are described for reducing switches (e.g., ping-pongs) of a wireless communications device between two or more wireless networks. For example, a method includes determining a context of data use of a first wireless network to which a wireless communications device is connected. The method includes determining a time delay associated with performing a switch from the first wireless network to a second wireless network when at least one performance indicator of the first wireless network is below a threshold performance level needed to support the context of data use. The method further includes performing the switch from the first wireless network to the second wireless network in response to the time delay expiring while the at least one performance indicator remains below the threshold performance level.
