The DDOS protection company you are thinking about is www.prolexic.com

There are actually many SPs offer 'clean pipes'-type DDoS mitigation services; Prolexic, AT&T, Sprint, Rackspace, SAVVIS, and many others.


And you're correct that no responsible SP offers any sort of DDoS- testing types of services because of the costs and potential for collateral damage. So, in most cases, this sort of testing must take place locally; note that very very few organizations will allow this kind of testing against a production network, so it's generally relegated to the lab.

As someone else pointed out, there are many many different classes of/ flavors of DoS; the main thing to keep in mind is that DoS attacks are attacks against capacity and/or state, and how to defend against them at all layers of the model.
