There aren't very many ways to combat DDOS. That's why it's so popular. Some ISP's partner with a company that offers a tunnel based scrubbing service where they DPI all your traffic before they send it to you. If you only have a few upstreams it may be helpful to you. I spoke to them last year but we have too many links and too many blocks to use it. I think the name of the company was prolexic. They're also a L3 VAR if you have L3 links. There isn't alot of BGP (AFAIK) magic that doesn't involve cutting someone off to save the rest of your customers.
