A fair market rate is what you get when you invite quotes for the same volume from the other players in the market. I expect you will be receiving them soon when they read your email but what you should do is solicit them yourself.
Ask other questions, demo the portal tool you will use and get stats about up time. The price is not the only consideration. 4 cents is too expensive when the service is unreliable.
