Ahmed, I’d suggest to go for Mobilink if you prefer quality service not only in Lahore and Peshawar but per my personal experience Mobilink has outstanding quality services all over the Pakistan. As for rates concerned, i guess that are little high with Mobilink. From the rate perspective Zong would be a good option.
