Residents cracked open the Champagne and celebrated in the street after scooping first prize in a national competition.
Whitchurch folk kicked off the new year in style after hearing they had won BT's Race to Infinity Competition.
And the town scooped a £5,000 prize to invest in computer equipment for a chosen community project.
Six areas across the UK got the chance to leapfrog the other 2,500 internet exchange points in the UK to get BT's super-fast fibre optic broadband.
Launched in October, the competition aimed to bring the new broadband to areas that secured the most votes from residents and businesses running off their local exchange point.
Whitchurch was chosen after 100 per cent of the 2,480 users running off the Whitchurch exchange voted online over a three-month period.
The town ran a grassroots campaign spearheaded by residents John Buckley, Mike Stead and Andrew Reeves-Hall.
Mr Buckley said: “The excitement has not diminished yet. It is a real community achievement. People here love living in Whitchurch and everybody is striving to make it a better place for us and future generations.”
The campaign was supported by Whitchurch Town Council, which provided £1,000 funding along with the White Hart pub, Albright International and Newbury Building Society.
To secure the votes, Whitchurch Faster Broadband Campaign enlisted up to 15 volunteers to go around homes in the town to encourage people to cast their vote.
John Wall of London Street said that he was on the phone to residents and going door-to-door for up to four hours a day in the run-up to December 31.
The 78-year-old said: “The town really pulled together. The last couple of votes are always the hardest to get, but we still managed to do it.”
North west Hampshire MP Sir George Young, who backed the campaign, told the Basingstoke Observer: “I thought that I did well to get 58 per cent of the vote in the May General Election last year, but these guys got 100 per cent which is incredible. And I know how hard it is to get people to vote.
“The campaign really got the community behind it and that is a big achievement and the result is a fantastic start to the new year for the town.”
John Weaver, south east regional director for BT, said: “We are all in awe of how the campaigners have managed to galvanise the community like this. To get such a fantastic response in Whitchurch is truly incredible.
“You never know when you launch a scheme like this what kind of response it is going to get.
“The level of take-up shot past my expectations – getting everybody in the community to come together like this was a truly fantastic achievement”
BT said that the next step is to survey the town this year and start work on upgrading local exchanges to provide the super-fast broadband in 2012.
