Any host worth their salt should be able to put a stop to this unless it's using a very large botnet without repeating IPs, and even then it may not be that complicated depending on the nature of the attack.

I'd like to know which providers you are talking about. I have one of the best hosting providers and they can't provide this kind of protection.
