Most attacks are with infected botnets(I've seen even 5000+ ips) that use icmp or tcp flood on 21/80/113(ftp/http/ident) ports and/or sometimes udp flood. Our connection is 10 mbps and we are planning to move to 100 mbps. However I am trying to find some solutions to limit the problem like cisco firewall or some special technical support from the colocation isp (Internap) because sometimes attacks are over 100 mbps like 300-350 mbps.

You can try to use 'limit src-addr n' in ipfw rules. n is a number of
concurent connections from single ip address. It is very usefull with
statefull filtering. Hope this helps in case of TCP-based attacks
such as SYN-flood.
