I don't know if Verizon of AT&T offer these but T-Mobile used to have small cellular sites you could basically rent them to plug into your wired internet and it would piggyback off your internet to make a small cellular hotspot to give you good cell signal. I had one when I lived out in the boonies for a while.
EDIT: Looks like the ones T-Mobile used to offer are all End-of-Life and they don't even want them back from customers because they were for 3G/4G and they're moving all services to 5G.

EDIT II: Looks like AT&T may offer some still though:

Yea, I'm aware of those from working in telephony but cannot justify a DAS in my house, for visitors, when T-Mobile has perfect signal for us all through the house as well as the woods behind my house.
It's just easier to have people log in to my guest wifi ssid since modern smartphones have moved to SMS/Voice allowed to go over a data network that isn't cellular.
