Identifying DDOS attack

Problem with DDos is that you as a user you cannot do much, problem must be solved upstream.
If for example you have a 100Mbps line, and 100 bots start flooding you with 1Mbps each, no matter what you configure on the router your bandwidth is all consumed. Therefore the attach must be mitigated before it reaches your router.
I don't know if your ISP can detect the anomalies and sanitize them, but using an alternative provider for that in a form of a vpn might kill your ping times.
