If they fill the pipe with TCP traffic, UDP will be dead as
well. Protocols don't matter, bandwidth does.

Actually they do. A smart router/firewall can manage inboundĀ 
TCP traffic by delaying or dropping outbound acks. This will cause any
correct TCP implementation to back off.

Clearly this isn't perfect, it won't help you if you are being DOS'd
but it will throttle inbound http/smtp.
