Topic: Rate per source subtitle?

Post title: Is this rate reasonable?
Hi,
A translation agency offered me 2,40€/minute for English>Portuguese subtitling using Aegisub (free software).
So a 90-minute movie would pay 216€. Of course, some films have 500 subtitles while other can have 2000.
From what I hear, subtitling rates keep going down, at least in Europe, but overall this rate seems pretty low.
I have 2 questions:
1. What is the average time 1 minute of video takes you to subtitle?
2. What do you think of this rate?
Thanks in advance for your help!
