we usually have a very strong 4g and 5g coverage i was surprised to always see my signal medium at best

Any idea why am never able to pick excellent signal just like my phone when flying??...
 
My only guess would be your cell phone and you drone has a different way of interpreting how strong the signal is. Long time ago we had a local cellphone carrier their phones showed 10 bars everywhere you went.
 
Where were you flying from? Were you inside a structure? What control device were you using? Did you check what the signal strength was like on your actual mobile phone?

Both signals (RC and cell) seem to be showing attenuation. The messages concerning the RC TX/RX clearly suggested something physical blocking transmission. Both the drone control signal and the mobile phone signal use similar radio frequencies to transmit data.

Regarding 4G signal and physical attenuation: I've just been checking out my own mobile in a good coverage area, outside the building I'm in: full strength. Inside the building: 4G is variable between one third and three quarters. The structure is significantly affecting the signal quality.
