Is it safe to touch those wires if I was to replace the socket myself?

I am going to replace my extension wire this week, and buy a new router within the next few weeks.

Where do I buy the sockets from, any store like B&Q?

Thanks again guys, I really appreciate the help.
Safe yes, Although those wires belong to BT and you shouldn't touch them.
Anything from the Master Back is BT's.

There's ~50v DC across the pair unless the phone happens to ring at the time then its ~80v AC, its enough to make you jump but it shouldn't do you any harm* (although might cause a problem if you have a pacemaker.etc)
