I got hit by two of these (1/27 to Feb 4th and 6/4 to 6/22), and they were relentless. It was difficult to know where the attack originated because many proxies were involved - most inside the USA). We only managed a 62% uptime during the whole affair, many customers were upset, and it really hurt business. We ended up refunding everyone for the month and sending out a huge apology, for which many customers were understanding. Still, it hurt our business dramatically.
