Pakistani people are amazing and as long as you get enough data on your phone (20GB goes for about 4$) internet is not an issue at all. All hotels have Wi-Fi and even though not always great, generally it's good enough. Like I said, Pakistani people are incredible and the food is super super cheap. You'll have a hard time spending more than 10$ in a day. Next to that, you're gonna be the only foreigner in Lahore, even though it's such a big city. Most people have never seen a foreigner and are
