Before using dedicated server to run Tor I tested several VPS provider like 
Host Europe, Server4you and other smaller VPS hoster. For all VPS the maximal 
number of concurrent TCP connection was so small, that it made no sense to run 
Tor on it. So VPS provider guarantee unlimited Bandwidth but other limitations 
make these offers useless.
