You gave the answer yourself. If the provider cant handle, change. lol Not even kidding, Im portuguese, living mostly in Portugal, but I have my main server's UK-based. Historically, they've had the best servers.
Or.. create server directly on a data-center. Since I do it, and do it on a VPS, I have total control over everything including bandwidth stress relief. Also, probably cheaper than buying all those fake ddos protections people have been talking about. Those dont work coz the attack occurs on a couple of layers above the game server.
The downside of having to use that methid is having to take care of everything yourself with minimal to no support. Personally, I think thats a good thing but Im probably in the minority. This way I, and my brother, have been able to put respawn working (just included RespawnMod), create custom classes (changing UltimateMod and others, still need a workaround for a little problem here for making it fully automatic) and we might even be able to get new weapons in the game (although people would have to download some files manually). We have been playing around with Lightning Gun from UT2k4 buts its still too stupid to call it success lol. Things you cant customize using those services. So you decide if its a good thing or not.
Havin all that said, its an outdated software. No measure is perfect. We'll just have to wait for the spiritual successor coming its way.
btw, everyone starting red and using SPR is pretty fun.
