Yes, you can go back to 4.4.3. It is one of the advantages of having a Nexus device. You can find the factory images for Nexus devices here, including factory images for previous Android versions. Instructions for how to install the factory image are included on the page.
It is unlikely there will be any further updates to Android 4.4 until Android L is released.

Can you download and flash just radios or do I need to flash a old ROM. And from what I see I can unlock the boot loader from just the android SDK and if I have a Canadian Nexus 5 can I flash the 4.4.2 ROM from developers.google.com my 4.4.4 build number match's the one on the site
So I figured out I'd have to download a old ROM I guess say 4.4.3 then extract it and the radio file is in side but now I need a good tutorial on how to flash the bad boy. Or should I flash Android L Dev preview I know it's not meant for every day use but I like testing stuff . would it have updated radios or does it use 4.4.4 radios

Go to the "All Things Root" forum. Look at the guides and ask any questions you have there. How will depend on whether you have rooted already.
My signal issue is now fixed. I finally got brave enough to void warrenty and unlock my bootloader i flashed the AndroidL dev preview used it for a hour then found the mobile hotspot was broken in that build so i flashed 4.4.4 and then flashed the Android L radio and now my signal is better my ping went from 160+ to 76ms

FWIW, you technically did void the warranty, but according to my correspondence with a google cust serv rep you can reinstate the warranty by flashing stock software back on:
"I see your curios about our latest version. Unfortunately that would void warranty simply because its still in development and is not ready for customer use however if you re image it will restore warranty for the device so long as it is within warranty."
Pretty sure he's from India, so [sic] that whole quote.
