That worked:

Capabilities:
|      supported: 'gsm-umts
|                  lte
|                  gsm-umts, lte'
|        current: 'gsm-umts'


Modes:
|      supported: 'allowed: 2g; preferred: none
|                  allowed: 3g; preferred: none
|                  allowed: 2g, 3g; preferred: none
|                  allowed: 2g, 3g; preferred: 2g
|                  allowed: 2g, 3g; preferred: 3g
|                  allowed: 2g, 3g, 4g; preferred: none'
|        current: 'allowed: 2g, 3g; preferred: 3g'


I'll pass some LTE areas next week so I can check if the conection stays
alive then. Thanks a lot!

P.S.: Using mmcli is much nicer than having to poke at DBUS, awesome!
