Usually the large buildings have stronger central servers and/or signal boosters positioned throughout the building. Homes have a small hub with a limited signal strength.

What materials were used in the construction of the building also plays a factor. Older homes are often small but constructed out of Stone or other thick materials that can block signals. Whereas newer, larger buildings are sometimes built with WiFi or even phone signals in mind.
