Bandwidth is just a nominal value that has nothing to do with the actual bandwidth which the serial interface is carrying.
You would need to modify the default bandwidth value to a different one in the following cases: 1- To have meaningful readings out of the txload, rxload. For example The default bandwidth would be a T1 while your circuit is 128K. You will run into cases where you are fully utilizing the 128K and still txload,rxload doesn't show 255/255 to indicate link is full. What you will get in such a case 21/255 because it is referring to the default bandwidth of the interface not the actual speed. 2- In situations when you want more control over load-balancing between the interfaces. For example if you are running a dynamic routing protocol it would use such nominal value in its calculations for load-balancing the traffic over the interfaces. You will end in situations where you have to modify the default bandwidth to acheive your target in load-balancing.
