kannel's web interface reports speed incorrectly in most cases if you're
not checking whilst sending happens (first number means speed for last 5
minutes if i'm not mistaken, last is overall speed).

you can check speed via grep'ing / awk'ing your smsc log.

as I can see you've already tweaked max-pending-submit as well as wait-ack
thing.

do you see any throttling errors at all in your smsc log?

you can also measure speed by sniffing your network interface and counting
submit_sm per second in any sniffer (ethershark, ettercap, etc).

from the page you've sent I can see you're using smsbox only, do you use
DLR reports at all? try sending test batch of MT without DLR reports and
see if speed improves.

2. Smsc-mt is used for MT billing. It appears the only SMS that are
> delivered to phones which have sufficient airtime balance are counted as

> kannel Via that connection to counted as part of the statistics but is
> clearly not the case. Is this a kannel bug?

>  I don't get what you mean here. Kannel's counter reflects all sms sent
through it even if they are not delivered to the phone. Kannel just reports
what sent/received to/from the upstream SMSC providers.

also

>port = 5020

>receive-port = 5020

you can replace with:

port = 5020

transceiver-mode = 1
