That doesn´t work 
It´s still in seconds.
Number spdPing "Ping [%.2f ms]" {channel="speedtest:speedtest:binding:pingLatency"}
Item 'spdPing' changed from NULL to 0.008957000000000001
Hmm. Thanks @MikeTheTux - those are the instructions I followed - but let me give it another go over the weekend.
Some progress.
I’ve got the right version installed now
Speedtest by Ookla 1.2.0.84 (ea6b6773cf) Linux/x86_64-linux-musl 5.15.0-82-generic x86_64
The official command line client for testing the speed and performance
of your internet connection.
and when i run /usr/bin/speedtest -f json I get a response. I also get a successful response when I run /usr/bin/speedtest -f json --accept-license --accept-gdpr
In OpenHab (v4.0) I can trigger Speedtest_TriggerTest and my logs say
2023-09-02 18:44:14.283 [DEBUG] [.speedtest.internal.SpeedtestHandler] - handleCommand channel: speedtest:speedtest:myspeedtest:triggerTest command: ON
2023-09-02 18:44:14.286 [DEBUG] [.speedtest.internal.SpeedtestHandler] - Getting Speed Measurement

but that’s it. No other logging and none of the items are updated (they remain NULL).
The Thing is ONLINE?
During initialization the binding perfoms a version check:
speedtest -V
Do you see a “Speedtest Version: ...” line during init in the logs? Type DEBUG.
I see this
2023-09-03 11:38:04.711 [DEBUG] [.speedtest.internal.SpeedtestHandler] - Passing to shell for parsing command.
2023-09-03 11:38:04.712 [DEBUG] [.speedtest.internal.SpeedtestHandler] - OS: *NIX (Linux)
2023-09-03 11:38:04.714 [DEBUG] [.speedtest.internal.SpeedtestHandler] - The command to be executed will be ‘[sh, -c, /usr/bin/speedtest -V]’
…but nothing else.
Which version of the Binding / which OH version are you using?
Can you post your item status from the rest API:
{
"link":"http://nas:8080/rest/items/Speedtest_Ping",

Edit: Changing the type to Number:Time fixed it

@AndyH_UK, is the sh shell available? What happens if you call sh -c "/usr/bin/speedtest -V" on the console?
@MikeTheTux
I get this -
andy@server$ sh -c “/usr/bin/speedtest -V”

Does speedtest binding work with OH 4.1?
Sure. There is an official openHAB Binding for Speedtest in OH4.
