VoIP Provider DDoSes

Unlike http based services which can be placed behind cloudflare or
similar, harder to protect sip trunking servers.

The provider in question makes use of third party hosting services for each
of their cities' POPs. It is my understanding that for the most part they
do not run their own infrastructure but either rent dedicated servers or a
few rack units of Colo in each city.

I question whether some or any of those hosting companies have sufficient
inbound (200-400Gbps) capacity to weather a moderately sized DDoS.
