Thousands of residents have rallied together in a bid to scoop a national competition for super-fast internet.
Whitchurch is in with a chance to come in the top five of BT's Race to Infinity competition which closes on December 31.
At the time of going to press the village lay in sixth place, the first five areas in the country will get the jump on the rest of the UK to have BT's fibre optic broadband installed.
Launched in October the competition will install the broadband in areas that secure the most number of votes from residents and businesses running off their local exchange point.
Over 75 per cent of the 2, 480 users of the Whitchurch exchange have voted online, but they need to ramp up the votes to pip fifth place Baschurch in Shropshire who lie ahead on 86 per cent.
To get votes, Whitchurch has run as grassroots campaign spearheaded by by three residents, John Buckley, Mike Stead and Andrew Reeves-Hall.
Mr Buckley, a graphic designer, said he was proud of the towns efforts, but admits the last couple of days will be the toughest.
He said: “The only way to win is to get people to vote, whatever we do and however we promote the campaign we can't win every single persons vote.
“But the fact we have got 75 per cent shows that we nearly have 100 per cent knowledge of the campaign.
“But the last few votes are the people who either don't know how or don't want to so it's going to be hard work securing those.”
The campaign since it launched last month has won the support of businesses, schools and GP surgeries in the town.
Whitchurch Town Council donated £1,000 to the Whitchurch Association to help get the word out and North-West Hampshire MP, Sir George Young, offered his support.
Sir George said: "Mike Stead, Andrew Reeves-Hall and John Buckley have done heroic work with the rest of the team in persuading local people to petition BT for faster Broadband.
"With the bad weather that we are all experiencing, this underlines the need for those who live in rural areas to have access to high speed internet connections, so they can compete on equal terms to those in the city.
“More and more people are working from home - either through choice or necessity - and they are more efficient if they have fast connections."
Mr Buckley said that if the town falls short of scooping the prize then the future is still bright.
By getting over 75 per cent, BT will ensure Whitchurch is a priority area for the upgrade being rolled out over the next five years.
Whitchurch councillor, Keith Watts, said the whole campaign has been a great way to bring the community together.
He said: “The residents have taken the campaign to heart. We have a great community spirit in Whitchurch which has been on really been on show.
