East China's Jiangsu has become the first province to provide broadband Internet service for all villages.

The achievement was announced Tuesday by the provincial communication administration and the Jiangsu division of China Telecom.

Access for all 150,548 villages means that broadband Internet service covered every corner of the province, said Gao Tongqing, general manager of the division.
