New construction should use metal lath, even if you drywall over it.

I have a house with plaster/metal lath. Also exterior aluminum siding. My below grade basement gets better cell signal than my upstairs.

Sounds perfect! They make repeaters for cell service, i would suggest looking into it. They are expensive, but it is really annoying to have your phone die.

Use copper mesh/foil and connect it all to a ground post. Also use a solid concrete wall for the lower level so it isn't as easy as driving a truck through the wall.

It's funny because I was picturing someone wallpapering their walls and window blinds with thick layers of tinfoil after reading this. :)
