You need to turn on "Auto scale" and choose "--alt-autoscale-max" in graph settings. By using this option your Y axis starts from 0 and is dynamically changed along with max Y value on the graph.

How does it look like when you turn autoscale off and set both lower and upper limit to 0?

The problem you are experiencing is due to how rrdtool handles auto scaling. I often wish there was a way to force rrdtool to only auto scale the upper boundry, yet I have not found out how yet.

What I currently do is turn off auto scaling and set a static lower and upper boundry. This only works if you have some static number you can set the upper boundry at. Ping/Process graphs usually work fine for this.
