Arduino MKRGSM1400 how to set the RAT and Band in UMTS mode?

[AntonioRiccelli77]

Hello
I need to set my MKRGSM1400 for working in to 3G mode for upload a file vs an hosted FTP server, but I noticed that although I have set the band on UMTS the upload speed cannot exceed 2.07Kbs. below is the function that sets this operation in my function with setRAT("2,2");

//Questo metodo và eseguito una sola volta a seguito di un cambio banda e basta
bool setRAT(String choice){
  MODEM.debug();

  String response;
  
  
   //Beginning the band manager restarts the modem
  delay(4000);
  Serial.println("Restarting modem...");
  band.begin();
  Serial.println("Modem restarted.");
  delay(1000);
  
  // Change the band
  String newBandName=GSM_MODE_UMTS;
  bool operationSuccess;
  operationSuccess = band.setBand(newBandName);
  // Tell the user if the operation was OK
  if (operationSuccess) {
    Serial.println("Success");
  } else {
    Serial.println("Error while changing band");
  }
  
  String bandName = band.getBand(); // Get and print band name
  Serial.println("Current BAND is: ");
  Serial.println(bandName);
  //set RAT
  Serial.print("Disconnecting from network: ");
  MODEM.sendf("AT+COPS=2");
  MODEM.waitForResponse(10000);
  Serial.println("done.");
  
  Serial.print("Setting Radio Access Technology: ");
  MODEM.sendf("AT+URAT=%s", choice.c_str());
  MODEM.waitForResponse(10000, &response);
  //Serial.println("done.");------------------------------------------------------------
  
  Serial.print("Switch off the module: ");
  MODEM.sendf("AT+CPWROFF");//https://www.u-blox.com/sites/default/files/AT-CommandsExamples_AppNote_%28UBX-13001820%29.pdf
  MODEM.waitForResponse(10000, &response);
  Serial.println("done.");

  MODEM.noDebug();
  return true;
}
