I think you're on time. If people want you to be there earlier, they should just say so. I think it's ridiculous to make an appointment for, say, 10 o'clock and then expect people to be there at 9:45. If you want people to be there at 9:45 fine but say so!

In the business world if someone tells you to be somewhere at a certain time, on time is fifteen minutes early. It shows respect and responsibility. I would say always try to be early you never know what will happen on the way and its better to be early then late.

By this time means that is the latest you should come, so if you came/or will go (a few mis) before, you're safe.

If your from an island, then you're probably late. Nothing personal, just reality. Try to be "early".

You are on time, unless you have volunteered to help with something like setup or other things. Then, you should be early.

I would say on time. If a person wants you there by say 1pm and at 1pm you are there why would you be late?

On time. it means that she wants you at the very latest at that time.
