My advice would be to contact your ISP and explain the situation, perhaps they will be able to offer you a solution, on the other hand do some more investigation into your router settings, I'm sure there will be a setting somewhere to restrict the amount of packets you can receive per game, the downside to this is if you're playing someone from long distance there's a change it'll pass your packet amount and disconnect you from the game.
I will be contacting my ISP some time tomorrow.
As for this whole DDoS protection, my router does have it. THe problem is, it only stops it at the router, it doesn't stop it at the ISP so while I might not get bumped off line, I do have all my usage allowance used up because it still counts as used data for the ISP.
Anyway, I hope to get this malicious internet attacks data usage deleted from my allowance. Or get my allowance increase this month to compensate.
You could turn DDoS protection off, then when you get too many packets you'll be knocked offline but you'll still have all your internet usage? T|t-for-tat at the end of the day.
