I had similarly unreliable connections from the UML290 but in my case the Verizon signal was poor in that area.
I had some luck at one point running a program on the modem from a PC that forced it to only use 4G as it seemed to have more problems when switching from 3G to 4G and back. That was the only area I've used it more than 24 hours at a time though so I can't comment on continued performance in an area with good signal. I was able to unplug and plug in the modem without pfsense locking up but that didn't fix the problem where a reboot would. Temporarily.
