Will Zenfone 8 Actually get 5G Service?

DailyDose

So yes, I see that the Zenfone 8 has the SD 888 and supports the various 5G bands. However, if you look at my attached JPEGs supplied by AT&T (snipped from their official PDF), AT&T doesn't appear to have the Zenfone 8 (Or any ASUS phone for that matter) on its 5G network list.
Can someone from ASUS comment on this? Or is there anyone out there with the Zenfone 8 running around who can confirm or deny this?

Neither has Qualcomm lists Z8 on their QuickCharge list. I would not trust these lists.

I would rather go to a 5G covered area and test myself.
Search nperf.com for the coverage.

Except that AT&T suspended my phone number for using an unlocked OnePlus 7T Pro. So they have the ability to poll your phone and refuse service if they wish. Little different than the QuickCharge list that just shows a bunch of phones who paid the necessary fee.
But yes, would appreciate if someone who owns the phone could chime in on whether or not they are getting 5G service.
