hedronist is 100% right.
My house was built in 1953 and is made of brick with plaster walls. Some of the walks have chipped or cracked over the years and underneath the plaster surface is a metallic mesh.
When I'm outside my home my signal is a perfect 4 bars. The minute I step inside I drop to "No Service".
WiFi has problems too and it's transmitting within the house about 2 rooms away.
I wish there was a WiFi solution outside of microwave...
