Find a provider that does the same thing Caelum does then in Chile.  Basically you're going to need a host with a large datacenter, that can handle having large bandwidth attacks.

 

In the event that's impossible there's a couple of things you can do to help mitigate it, but it's not going to get rid of the problem.  Using openjk is one thing if you're not already doing that.  There are a couple of cvars you can also tweak that might help.  The biggest thing though is having a way of deflecting the majority of bad traffic before it even gets to your server.  This page covers the basic principles.  Basically you want to blacklist bots/zombies and white-list legitimate traffic (actual JKA clients).  Caelum could probably give you some ideas of how to go about doing this for JKA if he feels so inclined, I'll defer to him since this isn't really my area of expertise.
