So I'm looking for a new phone, I am currently using the Samsung Galaxy S6 and I currently have their unlimited plan from a few years ago. So I really want to know if it would be possible for me to use the Oneplus 6 with Verizon, because i realized that they don't support Band 11, and I'm not sure how much that would change the performance, Thanks for any help in advanced!

Not really. OnePlus phones will only fully supports GSM carriers, while Verizon is a CDMA carrier. You will be able to use a OnePlus 6 on the network to a limited degree, but you must note that the complete lack of band 13 will cause your connection to be excruciatingly poor quality.

Call quality should be fine. Band 13 is responsible for LTE, so you will see poor internet speeds.
