When a provider is being DoSed, the affected routers are most probably
heavily loaded. It's not necessary that the traffic reaches the
bandwidth limit of a router to overload it as there's a maximum number
of packets per second as well as Mb/s. Most routers drop UDP packets
first when they're (nearly) overloaded so that's what you and the
other players notice.
