Have you got line of sight on a mobile tower? Might be better off with a high gain directional antenna (yagi) assuming you can "see" the tower (not obstructed by anything) rather than one of those omni-directional antennas (assuming thats what you are using).

Especially that 4G tower you are talking about.

Even things like how long the coax run is into the modem inside the house, you lose signal through that too.
