You're assuming the DDoS attack originates from outside the local
network(s). I was curious as to whether they'd seen any *internal* DDoS
attacks.
And again, external bandwidth doesn't matter for externally-sourced DDoS
attacks. If the attacker wishes to do so, he'll completely overwhelm
your transit bandwidth.

No, they don't, if they require a connection across the Internet to game
servers for matchmaking/auth purposes, etc.
