Today i moved over from Windows to Ubuntu {YAAAY}

I do however seem to have a problem. To do my work I am constantly on the internet and here in SA LTE modems are preferred over ADSL. now my problem seems to be that in my area the signal is terrible on the 8ta network, but it's not non-existent. It is terribly slow as a result. however, when i was on Windows i used Mobile partner for my Huawei e353s-2 modem and as such, i could forcibly choose to register my sim on the MTN network and thus roam, with better access to the internet.

Here-in lies my dilemma!

Is there any way I could forcibly roam on another network as i did with mobile partner in windows or is there an entirely different app i could use?

Note: I even tried installing mobile partner Ubuntu hack using this method to no avail:
