About the only thing you can do for a DDoS is to work with your ISP to control things on his net. They should be more than happy to work with you as this affects their performance and resources including their SLAs.
Actually, many ISPs are not terribly happy to "work with you", as "their time" is a resource just as much as their bandwidth is, and this often requires the attention of the most senior people. Customers who repeatedly get DoS'd often find themselves invited to take their business elsewhere.
Now the question is: Who did you piss off?
