Their locations are mostly 20 and 30 Gbit(https://www.nfoservers.com/networklocations.php) and they can usually handle slightly above that in terms of attacks at each location. They have filtering for common attacks and provide a comprehensive firewall.(http://i.imgur.com/1ptPWwO.png)
Now, I know people are going to swarm in and talk about OVH's classic VPS's, but anyone with any prior system administration knowledge or a general idea of how virtual machines/hosts operate, it becomes apparent that they're oversold and not optimal in the slightest for game servers. OpenVZ(virtualization) already sucks for hosting games as abusing customers can easily abuse CPU and due to the fact that nothing is guaranteed in terms of processing power, that'll have a significant impact on your game server. Now if you add in the fact that OVH isn't exactly underloaded or have game hosting in mind, you're likely to get terrible performance depending on the host node you're on.
That being said, NFO under loads all of their servers and host nodes are configured with game servers in mind. They run XEN which has always been said to be the best virtualization platform for game server hosting, and their 10+ years of service using it proves that.
