Exemplary methods, apparatuses, and systems store an identifier for a user device when the user device is determined to be accessing a network service and store a time at which the user device is determined to be accessing the network service for each instance of the user device being determined to be accessing the network service. Periods of time during each day of the week in which the user device is likely to accessing to the network service are determined based upon the stored identifier and times. Whether the user is likely to access the network service while at work or at home is determined based upon the determined periods of time in which user devices are likely to be accessing the network service.
