If I understand you correctly, you'd like the graphs to show the true amount
of data and not be capped at the max bandwidth.  

At my previous employer, we had Frame relays which were 64k within a 512k
pipe.  Our provider would often let us exceed the 64k, but the 512k pipe
could not be exceeded, of course.

So, I set MaxBytes to the 64k, and AbsMax to the 512k.  This allows the
graph to exceed 64k, but MRTG realises any values over 512k are obviously
false.  The graph should automatically stretch on the y-axis when required
to show these larger values.
