Standard & Poor's on Monday raised the corporate credit rating on Level 3 Communications to a B- from a selective default based on the completion of a debt buyback program designed to give the Broomfield-based communications carrier some breathing room. The move was expected.

Such a rating means Level 3 is considered to be vulnerable but has the current capacity to meet its financial commitments.
