I’m single and was able to renogotiate back to $40/month (a deal they offer folks who just start). I own my own router/modem and have auto pay setup. You just need to threaten to jump to a competitor.

When I threatened to go to a competitor the rep laughed and said good luck. I switched.

They laughed at me but I switched to port networks then T-Mobile. Xfinity begged me to come back for $39, which I took, because it is more stable

Yeah, this doesn't always work... sometimes it does, sometimes they don't care. I think it used to work more in the past (my dad used to be the king of free HBO/Showtime/etc) but it's hit or miss now. Especially when Baltimore basically has no actual choice.

Unfortunately sometimes it's a game where you gotta just give up on the unhelpful phone rep, hang up, and call until you get someone that'll give you the deal.
