Want to get some ideas of the cost here

gleem,
what part of the site is being attacked? where does the large bandwidth usage come from?
you could save a lot of money by only placing the attacked portion of your website on a ddos protected network, while serving the content from a less expensive host (because ddos protected transit is going to be very expensive). You need specialized hardware at the routing level to mitigate on-going ddos attacks and not have any effect on your site.
