    Aptus is not a mobile provider. They are a fixed wireless provider.

    And to be honest: the majority of the providers won't tell you exactly where their masts are. They also don't necessarily use the traditional masts (due to cost on getting access).

    The only masts, that are publicly mapped are the ones for mobile phone providers.

    Knowing, where the mast is won't tell you anything either.

    The only way to know, that you can get service from them is an actual survey, which these providers usually do as part of the installation.

    You can also infer Aptus' high sites by their coverage map. Side by side this with a topographical map and it'll be obvious.

    Of course you can.

    But what good is it to you?

    At the end of the day the providers quality standards will determine if they supply you or not. Without an order a and a survey from the survey from the provider themselves it's guesswork at best.

    The knowledge of their actual sites will get you nowhere. They are pointless.

    And even the public maps are sometimes not that accurate .. on purpose.

    Surely you will get some kind of an idea about line of sight though.
