I think you are referring to a social tarrif some ISP's are providing.

You will find all the info HERE.

EE don't offer any social tariffs on their BB altho' Ofcom is encouraging ISPs to do so, but BT does. See Ofcom - Cheaper broadband and phone packages

Hi if I go to ofcom and I get a disabled deal would I have to pay a leaving fee if it’s a different supplier

You don't go to OFCOM to get your BB; you go to 1 of the ISPs it lists as having Social Tariffs.

If you do so & leave EE while within your min. contract term, yes, you will have to pay EE an early termination fee. You committed to stay with EE for the whole contract term, usually 2 years.
