Now from a technical point of view.
Those hardware pieces are great for minor attacks. They do not stop large attacks.
Just like your anti virus software always needs updates because the virus makers keep getting smarter. The same analogy applies. Most hosting companies have hardware in place. However when an attack happens it doesn't mean there is 100% percent protection.
What is being suggexted in this thread is that hosting companies should buy the newest and latest equipment everytime it comes out to protect 100% against attacks. If hosting companies did that simple virtual accounts would cost $100's of dollars a month to keep up with the updates.
Now saying that most big routers that your hosting companies use does prevent most attacks. The mensniche attack is a new attack that can be studied later and prevented against.
I know for a fact Cave Creek has good equipment and they are doing everything within thier power to stop the attacks.
These types of attacks can happen to anybody at any time this is one thing I always warn against when hosts say they guarantee 100% uptime.
<time for hosts to flame me now>
