I guess that’s very regional. I’ve lived in places where this was a non-issue even when underground but also in places where a thin pane of glass is apparently a faraday cage made of some exotic material.
I genuinely don’t know the technical reason behind that.
I’m speaking from a UK perspective - but yeah, very regional, even local - I have absolutely zero phone reception in the back half of my house, though full signal in the front bedroom next to the window. At least at home I can use the “WiFi assisted calling”.
Last week I was working away in a fairly nearby city and there wasn’t even enough signal for internet outside, right in the middle of the city centre, unless you walked down a side road, slightly uphill. It was bad enough that you couldn’t even get Internet signal in the train station, which I’ve never seen before.
I asked the people I was working with, and apparently it was already quite bad, but it was made even worse by right-wingers during Covid, cutting or burning down phone masts because “they had 5g mind control for your Covid chips” or whatever it was they believed that week. No idea why it’s not been repaired/replaced yet.

Or you got full reception but no internet because the tower’s trying to handle 50,000 devices.
