Well, I don't think a cheap VPS is capable of creating this much
connections anyways. I got a relay with a limit of 800kb/sec (I don't
think a cheap VPS can do more traffic due to traffic limitations) and
I got this:

jan@puerta:~$ netstat -tn | wc -l
1002
jan@puerta:~$ netstat -tn | grep ESTABLISHED | wc -l
976

But I would agree that diversity is needed and good, and there are
plenty of ISPs out there. I would advice to look for a "smaller" one.
Those are often more helpful if you have got some special requests.

best regards,
Jan
