My friend's basement has zero signal, if you go there you will never be able to use internet or calling from your mobile phone. Yet in our basement, you can use calling and phoning and interneting quite liberally, there's maybe a little slowdown since it's not perfect, but the signal still goes through.

My friend's basement however has none, absolutely zero cell reception.

If you're in a place without a cellular signal, simply invite a group of people over to discuss a certain topic and you'll get reception

The easiest mental image for this would be to imagine a basement on a house deep in a valley and another on top of a hill.

Also the materials the house/basement was built with.

We both live in the same neighborhood, his house being only 2 streets away. I've banged on the walls of both our houses but they just feel like brick to me. Possibly concrete. But definitely a hard substance, not plaster or wood.

Your friend's floor is probably more insulated or something. Probably more metal too or something.

Is it possible his basement is lower than yours?

Could that be it? Very hardcore to be metal.
