The Standard Poor's Ratings Service has improved its outlook on regional telephone operator, Windstream Corp., saying that the company has successfully mitigated revenue losses in the declining landline voice market, with growth in high-speed internet services.

Its EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization) margin has also remained stable, at around 50 percent, because of continued focus on cost cutting, SP explained.

The agency's official outlook for Windstream is now 'stable,' rather than negative.' SP also affirmed the carrier's corporate credit rating of BB+'.
